。 "How many people?" Hearing Roy's words, the slave owner's face was a little strange, "Are you sure you want to?" "What, is there a problem?" Roy asked.

"The problem is that there is one" The slave owner glanced at the three people in the iron cage, a greedy smile appeared on his face, and said to Roy: "Three people, one thousand gold Lulang." Not a penny is a lot. ”

"You might as well grab it!" Grandet jumped up like an angry fighting.

For him, who regards the money bag as more important than his life, it is not as pleasant to take out one more copper sani as to directly wipe his neck with a knife, let alone a thousand gold Lulang.

"That's the price. The slave owner obviously had no intention of giving in, and hugged his arms and said: "One thousand gold Lulang, it is already a great bargain to buy a knight and two non-commissioned officers." Don't look at them as slaves now, if they were in the past, even if I saw them, I would have to whisper my lord. It doesn't feel like a good thing to support such a person to work. ”

"Fart. Grand's face was red and his neck was thick, and he said angrily: "A knight who doesn't even have a fighting spirit and is still called a fart." I might as well spend this money to buy a war slave. Besides, we bought slaves to work, and it doesn't matter who he used to be!"

"That's whatever you want," the slave owner shrugged his shoulders with a look of regret, "One thousand gold Lulang can only buy a low-level war slave, and he may not be able to beat them." Don't look at them now, they have no fighting spirit, and their martial arts and killing methods have not been left behind. Otherwise, why do you think you should let the three of them occupy half of the cage?"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the other slaves in the iron cage crowded in the other half of the space, and sneered: "You ask these dozen wastes, who dares to provoke them?"

Hearing the slave owner's words, the slaves in the iron cage all looked away. Although they were five or six times more numerous than the three Karenich. The physique is also strong, but they can only squeeze into the other half of the cage, and they dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool. Judging from the bruises on the faces of some of them, it is clear that the two sides have been able to form the current situation beyond just words.

The slave owner turned to Roy and asked, "Little brother." What do you say, do you want it?"

From the moment the slave owner quoted the price of a thousand gold lulangs, the surroundings fell silent. The slaves looked at the three Karenich and gloated a little. Karenich stood there silently, silent. As if the person being bargained for was not himself. And the two men behind him. He glared angrily at the slave owner.

A thousand gold Lulang, almost directly cut off the possibility of them being bought out of this iron cage.

Unless the brain is burned out, who would be stupid enough to spend a thousand gold Lulang to buy three ordinary slaves. No matter how noble the previous status is, it is also the past. Since he has been reduced to a slave, he is no different from anyone else. It's like a girl in a brothel. She never said that she was once a virgin. Just give ten times as much money, right?

In the eyes of everyone, Roy said to Grande, "Pay the money." ”

Wow, everyone was in a commotion. No one expected that this ordinarily dressed teenager would really smash out a thousand Jin Lulang. That's real money. It's not a rock that you can throw into the water!

When Grandet paid, his lips were blue.

"You damn profiteer. Don't think I'll take care of your business again, hellish liar. Greedy shell lang, cow dung trampled by horses' hooves"

In the midst of Grandet's scolding. The slave owner smiled and accepted the money and waved his hand at his subordinates.

"You still have you out, damn it, hurry up!" thugs shouted loudly with whips and whips as they lifted the chosen slaves out of the crowd, roped them on, shackled them aside, and lined up. For a while, it was dusty, and the scene was chaotic. ...,

A table had already been set up next to him, and the slaves were filled out one by one with official seals of sale. Because this time, Grandet chose a total of sixty slaves, plus the three people that Roy wanted, it was a big deal in the external market of the slave market. Therefore, just filling out the contract took a long time.

Just as the deed of sale was filled out and Roy and Grandet were about to leave, suddenly, there was a commotion from the central auction hall.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to hear the sound of swords clashing, angry scolding, and footsteps from there. A moment later, a slender figure rushed out of the tent first. Behind, dozens of thugs were in hot pursuit. The two sides fought each other as they ran. In a few moments, the pursuers surrounded the man in front of them.

The person who escaped was obviously a woman, she moved very fast, holding two half-moon daggers in the crowd to rush left and right, jumping and moving, all the desperate moves, dozens of guards were helpless to take her for a while, and could only surround her around to avoid being taken advantage of by her to escape, while shouting and scolding.

"Catch her!"

"Surround her, don't let her run!"

"Stinky are spicy enough, big guy be careful!"

Seeing such a scene, the whole slave market was like a frying pan. Slave traders and thugs swarmed around him. Work together to help encircle and intercept.

However, as several of the people who had fought with the woman were put to the ground by her, the crowd was never able to control her in one place. A moment later, the warband had moved towards where Roy and the others were.

"Come on, what the are you doing, go up there and help me!"

Seeing that the woman had injured several people one after another, the slave owner beside Roy looked gloomy and urged his thugs urgently.

"Wait!" Roy suddenly reached out to stop the slave owner. In this short moment, he had already recognized the besieged woman as Miki, a female elf mercenary he had met with Fergus's convoy when he came to Muni City.

"What?" the slave owner said, his astonished gaze swept over him, "Do you know her, or is she yours?"

Seeing that Miki was already in the encirclement of a group of thugs and was in frequent distress, Roy sighed in his heart and said to the slave owner dryly: "My people. You tell them to stop and tell me something. ”

The slave owner's eyes narrowed.

In the transaction just now, he found that this ordinarily dressed teenager seemed to be the real owner. Even Grandet, who paid the money, obeyed his orders. The person who can spend 1,000 gold Lulang to buy three ordinary slaves is either rich or expensive, and he may be the young master of a noble family. This thing. Before you figure out the details, you have to be careful.

"That's what you said," the slave owner looked at Roy, his eyes flashing, and turned and shouted, "Stop, all stop!"

With the roar of the slave owner. Several of the people who fought against Miki jumped out of the battle group and stopped, but everyone still surrounded Miqi and turned their heads to look at this side. While staring warily at Miki.

"Piba, what's your name?" A middle-aged man with two battle rings flashing on his body looked at the slave owner named Piba beside Roy viciously, and said angrily: "Sue you, she has ruined Lord Snarry's business!"

Snerry clearly had a terrifying influence in the slave market. As soon as they heard this name, the slave owners and thugs who came up all around looked at each other like cicadas. Piba gasped even more. His face turned pale, and he quickly stretched out his hand and pointed at Roy beside him and said, "This kid said that the woman is his person!"

"His people?"

The brawny man and the thugs looked at Roy, and their colors changed. With a "hula", dozens of people outflanked him, instantly surrounding Roy and Grande. At the same time, Miki, who had been nervously confronting the other party, also turned her head suddenly.

When she saw Roy. I couldn't help but open my mouth wide in surprise, and a complicated look of surprise and embarrassment flashed in my eyes.

"What's wrong?" Roy asked calmly.

"Hey. She's your person, and you don't know what happened?"

A voice as cold as a snake. Coming from the side. Roy turned his head to look, only to see a bald man in the separated crowd, surrounded by a group of big men, striding forward.

"Lord Snarry. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

"Adult?" The honorific title of the bald man around Roy made Roy stunned, and he didn't understand how a human trafficker could be called an adult.

However, when his eyes fell on a mark on the bald man's shirt, he immediately knew why.

The Fifth Legion!

The bald head turned out to be a member of the Fifth Legion.

The bald Snerry walked up to Roy, looked condescendingly at the thin boy in front of him, and then swept his eyes around the slave owner and the slaves who had just been released, and asked the slave owner, "Peba, how do you know him?"

Piba had already turned pale with fright. He shrunk his head and stammered with great difficulty before he told Roy and Grandet about the purchase of slaves, and as soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly took a few steps back, waved his hand again and again, and said, "That's all, my lord, the rest is none of my business, I don't know them at all." ”

Snerry squinted his eyes and looked Roy up and down.

From Piba's mouth, he has realized that this old and young man are not like ordinary people. And judging from the expressions of the two, the same is true. The black-haired young man looked calm, as if he didn't know what kind of people he was facing, and the obscene old man was as calm as an old tree, looking fearless.

Snerry didn't know that although there were only two people in front of him, in fact, as soon as Roy left the academy, there would always be a Red Leaf Knight's presence in the invisible place beside him.

This is the death order that Philip gave to Ivan and Sanjie as early as the first time he met Roy. And after the matter of the Black Skull Bandits, he even dispatched a knight squad and the corresponding infantry cavalry, stationed in Muni City, once Roy is in danger, only one arrow is needed, and the Red Leaf Knights can turn the entire Muni City over!

"Mr. Snerry, is there? Roy was neither humble nor arrogant, and said to Snari: "If it's her fault, then I will definitely give you an explanation." ”

"Explain?" Snarry sneered, his slender eyes shining with a cold light. After a long time, he yelled at one of his subordinates beside him and said fiercely, "You, sue him!"

With the men's narration, Roy finally figured out what had happened.

It turned out that today was the largest auction in the slave market in recent times.

For this auction, Snarry has been preparing for a long time, investing a lot of manpower and material resources, and deliberately choosing the time at the moment when Archduke Adolf is about to return to the city. It is to invite the nobles and rich people who are scattered all over the place on weekdays.

It must be said that their preparation was successful, and at the beginning of the auction, it was also successful.

But. Just when the auction entered the most important theme, that is, the auction of a total of one hundred and twenty elves, Miqi's appearance turned the entire auction hall into a farce.

At that time, she was wearing a gorgeous costume, and she frequently asked for the price. From the first round all the way to the fourth round, the bidding prices were high. At one point, everyone was dumbfounded. The slave traders were overjoyed, but the nobles were indignant, thinking they had met Snarry's nursery. No one wants to be the one to buy a few elves. ..., calculate the time, and when the auction ends, it is when Roy arrives. Then. The nobles, who were empty-handed and iron-faced, left angrily.

But just when the carriages of the nobles drove out of the slave market, and the slave traders were excitedly preparing the paperwork and delivery procedures, no one expected that the big patron, who had paid a full 5,000 gold Lulang guarantee, suddenly repented. Just lightly dropped the sentence "I don't want it anymore". Just turn around and leave.

Then. Everyone was stunned.

Although the guarantee of 5,000 is a lot, it is far from the transaction amount of hundreds of thousands of gold Lulang. Moreover, they spent half a month preparing for this auction. Once today's day passes, not to mention that it is impossible to hold an auction of the same scale in a short period of time, even if it can be held, those angry nobles will not come to participate.

By this time. Everyone finally realized that this woman was here to make trouble! These gangsters who licked blood and killed people with knives suddenly revealed their true colors. I'm going to keep Miki. Miki naturally won't be restrained and draw her sword to resist. After some struggle, she rushed out of the auction hall, which was the picture that Roy had just seen.

Roy listened to what had happened, and he understood in his heart. Although he didn't know what the relationship between those elves who were auctioned off and Miqi, he knew that Miqi, who covered his ears, was an elf himself. Obviously, it's not just that Miki is full and has nothing to do to make trouble.

"How much is it?"

"What, you're going to pay?" Snerry laughed, sat down with his legs crossed on a chair behind him, and said, "One hundred and twenty elves, plus two old elves and three dwarves, for a total of eight hundred and sixty thousand gold lulang." ”

When they heard the price, Roy and Grandet were shocked, and even the other slave traders and thugs who had not entered the auction just now were also dumbfounded.

Although, elves as the world's most difficult to capture and expensive slaves. The price of each one is above 10,000 gold Lulang. Even some elven slaves were sold for 100,200,000 gold Lulang, which was not an incredible thing. However, anyone who knows a little bit will know. The price mentioned here is the total price.

The hardest thing about owning an elf slave is not to capture, but to train.

Elves are proud and free by nature.

Like a bird named Seven Nights, it may be easy to catch, but once you lose your freedom, you can't feed it anyway. Except for flying freely, they don't give a damn about a qiē.

As a result, it was easy for slavers to capture elves, but it was difficult to keep them alive, let alone train them to be slaves.

The training cost of an ordinary elf slave may be as high as thousands of gold Lulang. And the training cost of an elf with high martial arts skills is even more bottomless.

And the bloody, humiliating and painful process of training was the most important factor in causing the price of elf slaves to skyrocket. Most of the elves die in the process, and there is often not one in ten left in the end. This is also the reason why the elf auction is carried out in batches of twenty or thirty.

It can be seen that the price of two or three thousand gold Lulang and one elf is already quite expensive. Even if calculated according to the lowest training mortality rate, the price of training an elf slave is more than 10,000 gold. And that's not even counting the other costs of femdom. And Mi Qi actually raised the price of buying an untrained elf to an average of more than 7,000 gold Lulang.

It's crazy! No wonder the nobles left with a grimace. If it weren't for Miki's identity, even Roy would have thought she was crazy.

"How's it going?" Snerry crossed Erlang's legs and squinted at Roy, "I'll wait for you to give me an explanation!", Roy was silent.

"I don't have to worry about you!" Miki suddenly spoke.

She knew very well what a terrifying sum of money of 860,000 gold Lulang was. Not to mention Roy, even many barons and viscounts who have territories may not be able to make up their fortunes. Seeing Roy embarrassed at this moment, she gritted her teeth, waved the dagger in her hand sharply, and shouted at Snarry: "You have the ability to kill me"

Before she could finish speaking, Roy was already angry: "Shut up!"

Miki is embarrassed and angry by Roy's rebuke. He stubbornly wanted to say something, but when he saw Roy's eyes, his mouth involuntarily closed tightly.

Even though days had passed, she still couldn't forget that Roy had single-handedly concocted the cold-blooded massacre against the Black Skull bandits. I can't forget it, Roy stood on the line of torches and turned out, quietly watching the rows of bandits fall in front of him, his eyes were so cold that it made people's hearts chill.

She knew better than anyone what a horrible creature the boy in front of her was.

Seeing that Miki closed her mouth, Roy ignored her, turned his head to look at Snarry, and opened the spatial ring. In an instant, a large amount of demon cores, monster furs, and bones poured out and piled up in front of Snerry.

"Oh my God. ”

"Demon core, so many!"

As soon as they saw these things, the surrounding crowd immediately exploded. Even Snerry stood up.

Roy had a harmless smile on his face: "Since my people have made a bid, then I can only admit it." But I don't have enough money today, so I'll exchange these for some first. For the rest, I'll do my best to complete the deal. ”
